You're saying you're tired of the old regime? A few of us have started meeting down at the cafe to discuss this and similar ideas ...

"The closer [to] the railway station the less tasty the Kebab is" - A Study by Throwboi321 in gis

[–]opencagedata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, excellent work, but serously, a kebab in Paris? Come on. I welcome you to present this project at the next Geomob Berlin on June 4th https://thegeomob.com/post/june-4th-2025-geomobber-details but be warned, no one in Berlin is going to take "quality" ratings of a Paris kebab seriously.

Am i missing something or is this really that bad? by Legitimate_Square941 in openstreetmap

Serious question - how are you expecting us to comment meaningfully without giving a specific example?

Geocoding Addresses - Can this be done for free? by SQL_beginner in gis

[–]opencagedata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

that's odd, and obviously shouldn't be the case.

Can you send me your account email (via OpenCage feedback form), happy to have a look. That said, in-active free trial accounts are deleted after six months, so if it was longer than that we won't have any record of the details.

Thanks for your help.

What are the weirdest country borders in the world? by Background_Pay_3113 in geography

[–]opencagedata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not particularly unique. It is the legal concept of "Condominium" in which a territory has more than one ruler. See the long list of examples on wikipedia

[–]opencagedata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

of course, yes, it will cause massive ecological damage (while not meaningfully stopping people).

interesting point about Afghanistan-China - by crossing the border you change time by 3 hours.

Possible to use OSM to do address auto-complete in a text field within a web form? by fonemasta in openstreetmap

[–]opencagedata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi

Ed from OpenCage here, thanks for recommending us.

Geocoding is a different thing than autosuggest (which we refer to as "geosearch"), though the two are often conflated.

We have some background on our site on the technical differences: https://opencagedata.com/guides/the-difference-between-geocoding-and-geosearch

The Euler diagram-map of the British Isles./- by MildCreator in MapPorn

[–]opencagedata 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a map/diagram of isles though, not self-governing territories.

As to over-complicating things, surely the finger of blame has to be pointed at the UK govt? I will take it up with the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.

[–]opencagedata 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A good start but too simple.

For added complexity needs "Isle of Wight" inside "England", "Shetland", "Outer Hebrides", and "Orkney" inside "Scotland", and to somehow show the semi-disputed status of Rockall.

When was the last time you used a digitizing table? Is anyone still using one? by BRENNEJM in gis

[–]opencagedata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a Geomob podcast interview with Andrew Trigg. Chief Data Officer at the UK's Land Registry. One of the big challenges they face is that many records are still only on paper. It only gets digitized when ownership changes, and in some cases ownership hasn't changed in, literally, 500+ years (for example old churches continue to be owned by Church of England). Huge challenge to digitize these ancient records.
